Custom "tenitone" uke build?
Hi all,
How do you all feel about seeing a custom ukulele build here in the Custom Shop? I am having a tenitone ukulele - that's a cross between a tenor and a baritone, in a tenor tuning - built by the Hawaiian luthier Eric DeVine. Eric does beautiful work, I imagine some of you are familiar with him but most are not. Eric is starting my uke in about a week. If the powers that be think a uke is appropriate here, I will post photos (and hopefully commentary from Eric!). The instrument will be built with Carpathian spruce top, and Cuban mahogany (grown in Hawaii) back and sides. J |

Love it! But then again I'm just a little bit biased.....

I think a build post for your custom uke would be AWESOME! I'd love to see it come to life.
I was hoping for some super flamey koa, but will have to settle for some awesome Cuban Hog. Looking forward to the pics!!!! Ukes are such fun instruments! |

Would love to see it built.
I posted a build thread for my John S. Kinnard Tenor some time ago. Precedent already set!

Not that I have any power, but I see no reason why you could not post that build here. I think we would all like to see something new.

Dennis, thanks for your support and for bringing your Kinnard uke thread to my attention. I was confused, as I was thinking that John KINNAIRD built your uke, and I did not know he builds them. Your uke looks beautiful!
